Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Mr. Burhan

I am very thankful for your Question and Answer service May Allah Give you Reward or this And keep us on Hidayah

Question:

Please let me know about this "33 years" body as has been mentioned in Holy Quoran or Hadis.

I will not be able to convey my question properly but I have been told that everyone will be getting body of 33 years at one point.

Please throw light of your knowledge on the same.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Age of 33 years

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: Please let me know about this "33 years" body as has been mentioned in Holy Quoran or Hadis. I will not be able to convey my question properly but I have been told that everyone will be getting body of 33 years at one point. Please throw light of your knowledge on the same.

To the best of our knowledge, we have not come across any verse in the Glorious Quran or the authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) whereby it is declared that ‘everyone will be getting body of 33 years at one point’.

Amongst the news of the fortunate inhabitants of Paradise (and also the dwellers condemned to Hell) which the Messenger of Allah (saws) narrated in Truth, there is indeed mention that every inhabitant who will enter Paradise (or Hell), regardless of the age they lived on earth, will enter Paradise or Hell aged thirty, (and in another narration thirty-three years of age), and they will never ever grow older…..perhaps it is this situation that you are inquiring about.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5639 Narrated by Mu'adh ibn Jabal

The Prophet (saws), said, "The inhabitants of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless with their eyes anointed with collyrium, aged thirty or thirty-three years."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5648 Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri

Allah's Messenger (saws) said "Those who are to go to Paradise, who died whether young or old, will come into Paradise aged thirty and will never grow older. The same applies for the inhabitants of Hell.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
